Brown Sugar (Packed) Conversion: Cups to Grams

Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added back in, giving it a characteristic caramel flavour and moist texture. When measured, it should always be packed firmly into the cup. It adds chewiness to cookies and a richer flavour to cakes and sauces. Light and dark varieties differ mainly in molasses content.
